Amy’s Coffee and Cones Now Serving Killer Dogs

Amy Blake Had Me Swing By To Sample One of Her Killer Dogs On Rocky Neck.  I’m telling you (and maybe I shouldn’t let out the secret) that her little deck next to the shop has the best little ocean breeze and view of Smith’s Cove.  A perfect spot to bring the kids for a hot dog and ice cream while sitting and taking in the beautiful view.

Gloucester Portfolio

Joseph Flack Weiler is now exhibiting his Gloucester Portfolio at the Topside Grill, 50 Rogers Street, Gloucester.

The black and white photographs are made from film negatives and printed with a 1970’s enlarger by J. F. Weiler. The images range in time from 1987 through today.

They depict the schooners Adventure, 1988,

Thomas E. Lannon, 1997 and Bluenose, 2006. Also included is a selection of seascapes from Bass Rocks.

Many of the images have been made from kayaks allowing an intimate water level view. Changes that have taken place on the Gloucester waterfront over the past twenty-four years are documented in the photographs. Some of the photographs can also be seen at WeilerPhotoGallery.com
